Religion & Ecology Summit

Gender in Religion and Ecology - March 16, 2018

2018 Theme: Gender in Religion and Ecology

Climate change disproportionately affects women, especially women in the global south, women of color, and women in poor communities. In addition, recent research shows that environmental practices are considered emasculating to men. In this one-day conference, we explored the various ways that gender intersects with the field of religion and ecology.

The third annual Religion and Ecology Summit showcased scholars, practitioners, environmentalists, and religious leaders who addressed the topic of gender at the intersection of religion and ecology. The goal was to provide opportunities for networking, learning, alliance building, and sharing of research.
